ADVANCED METHOD AND DEVICE FOR COMPREHENSIVE INVESTIGATION OF THYROID GLAND AND EYES

Abstract

Methods of diagnosis of diseases of the thyroid gland and eye structures are analyzed. The expediency of conducting a comprehensive study based on ultrasound methods: color mapping, Doppler and elastography to establish quantitative indicators that characterize the stiffness of soft tissues. The design of a piezoelectric transducer is proposed, which provides equality of beam width and thickness at each of the scan depths. The method of research is substantiated.
